Hello
I have recently been having an issue with my HP 15 laptop. It has only been happening recently.
As of late, the fan in the laptop is not spinning as fast as it used to and the temperatures are about 10'C higher than what they were previously (monitored using Core Temp). This is a problem as the CPU (i7-4510U) is starting to throttle to reduce performance at 70'C+.
The fan does spin but it takes longer for the fan to reach its operating speed and the temperature is about 5-10'C higher when it activates the higher speed. The idle temp is also 5-10'C higher.
Nothing has changed about this laptop, no other software, and there doesn't seem to be an issue with the fan as it still reaches speed, just not as quickly.
The only thing that has changed is a BIOS upgrade from F.28 to F.29 and this may be the culprit - as stated, this has not been happening for long.
Any advice or help would be appreciated as I do not see a way to manually adjust fan speed and the only option in the BIOS has been "fan always enabled", which has always been set to ON from the factory (this helps with temperatures).
